beatty

As a fullback, yep. Could do with some time in his actual position at some point in pre-season.

Blob crippled with a heavy bout of indigestion and then beaten with ease. Pardew-ball is back.

Colback and a lad who did well as an attacking midfielder out on loan last year.

"Steven Taylor dropping way too early." Yep.

Do not stop those. Do stop the link-up in that area.

Taylor is all over the place.

Pardew wont like Cabella trying to beat opponents and make things happen. WIll stamp that out before the Man City game.

Came in to post this. Has to be considered first choice at left back. At least until Santon returns from injury.

We don't play West Ham in this, just the two games against Malaga and Schalke. #NUFC v Malaga (4-2-3-1): Elliot; Yanga-Mbiwa, S Taylor, Coloccini, Haidara; Abeid, Colback; Sissoko, Armstrong, Cabella; Perez #SchalkeCup

I've taken up golf again after a half decade hiatus. Hit the driving range half a dozen times in the last fortnight and completed two rounds at local pitch and puts. Definitely back into the addicted phase of my interest. Spent an hour this morning getting acquainted to my driver again. Took 10 balls or so to realize that I was using my right had far too much on my downswing resulting in every single ball being pushed out high and to the right. Kind of sorted it and I'm starting to believe that I won't be too far away from finding a consistent swing in the coming weeks. Heard on the way home that Sergio Garcia holed 7 birdies in a row to take the lead at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. That is one man who I'd love to win a major one day.

But yeah, he looks tidy. Right footed, finishes well into the corners. Can turn and set quickly in the area. Solid first touch and more than capable close control. Left foot is more than competent. Seems to have some aerial ability, with well guided headers in the video. Now I want to know his weaknesses. Seems he blitzed the first 8 games of the season, scoring 6 but then totally trailed off. Would like to know why his form faltered.

Shame that there isn't a video of all the all the times players fluff their lines to go along with the highlights reel. A lowlights reel would be most welcome when judging a player. Something for rival fans to get involved in perhaps?

1-0, Perez.

Getting back into the swing of things with two left backs on the pitch.

Lukaku fee is £28m. Crazy bastards think they're Portsmouth.

Choking at the commentator reading out a tweet about the facebook notification sounds you hear now and then illegal stream

No refunds.

Surely better if we kept him hidden from potential suitors? Like a mystery box sale.

Thanks. The fuck is Obertan doing in the starting XI?

Any radio coverage available tonight?

German matches are on Quest. Malaga 3.30pm this Saturday and Schalke 5.45pm the next day. Ryder tweeted that we'll field a young team tomorrow. Any word on the injuries from the Wellington match?

Pretty similar, but Mavericks were the superior option - they had more girth.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26813363 Southampton aren't in the best financial health, so don't expect to see that incoming transfer money reinvested anywhere near in full.

Hamstring injury for Aarons. Awful luck.
